Ways to improve Cultural Criticism and Transformation

Hello, Goshahicks,

Thanks for creating Cultural Criticism and Transformation! I edit here too, under the username JamesG5 and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:-

Piece is closely paraphrased from https://www.mediaed.org/transcripts/Bell-Hooks-Transcript.pdf, original draft was a 100% copy and this has barely been altered. It needs a significant rewrite to comply with guidelines. No sources are cited at all, only reference appears to be that document. Needs other sourcing & footnotes. Layout is completely wrong and needs full revision. Sections are overly long and need to be condensed. Page needs categories.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|JamesG5}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.
